Week 7 (& PCMT replay) results

PCMT Quarter-final replay

Fred West Landscape Gardening XI 1 v 2 Aardvark Abacus

Phil Jagielka came off the bench to settle the tie in Ady's favour. Incredibly this will be the sixth successive time he's reached at least the semi-final stage.

Fred's 100% record goes but he keeps his three point lead. Rafael van der Vaart slammed the league leaders in front on 20 minutes from no distance at all but Ryan's team were level through Florent Malouda within three minutes. Surprisingly that's the way it stayed. The draw cost the Muppets second place on goal difference as Boston Rock took over that spot. Sheriff's side had a good 4-1 win at San Dimas with new housemates Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll both on the scoresheet.

Trusted finally found their scoring boots this week putting six past York's. Beef will be delighted with two from Javier Hernandez (great back-header for the first) and one from Fernando Torres at long last. The Parrots hang on to fifth place but could only grab a point at the Allsorts. Dean's team were looking set for the win through Joe Hart's saved penalty but Salamon Kalou, Ben's best performer this season, drove in at the near post with ten minutes left to grab a share of the spoils.

The CFJs and Athletico Phoenix fought out a goalless draw which keeps Chris sixth. Brian could have got all the points if Emile Heskey hadn't nutmegged himself from three yards. Aardvark Abacus may have won their PCMT replay but another defeat in the league leaves them marooned in mid-table. Ady had taken the lead through Sotirios Kyrgiakos but Nikola Zigic poked home for Clive soon after and Roger Johnson's clean gave Claymore a much-needed win.

The Artisans are going the right way at last after victory over fellow strugglers, and PCMT semi-finalists, Nil Satis. An excellent Leighton Baines free-kick set Ben on his way and the lead was doubled on the hour by Hugo Rodallega. John O'Shea's clean pulled one back for Paul but it wasn't enough. It was honours even in the Okus Derby. An unlucky Scott Carson own goal put Mega Bucks ahead on nine minutes but Carlton levelled things for Ceri on 12 minutes. The game petered out after that, the fact that the managers now have to spend a week on holiday in Portugal together may have had something to do with that!
